The basics of game design, from getting started to entering the grave

Chapter 119 Living System
Returning to work, Jiang Qiuqi packaged and sent to Wang Shuo the plans that he had driven out over the weekend.

Received five proposals at the same time, Wang Shuo paused when he clicked to accept.

"Are you secretly working overtime on weekends?" He was a little surprised.

"That... I just want to start learning to build a more powerful system earlier." Jiang Qiuqi touched his nose.

"Well, let's go and see how the life system of a few games is done. Let me tell you about it first. Most of the life system is the setting of the MMO game, as a supplement to the combat module.

However, we are a Two-dimensional game. The life system needs to be more suitable for the game. The purpose of needing it is to increase the playability of the game. It will not be linked to the main line and the main battle. It is only used as a pre-battle bonus and a post-battle bonus. become. "

Wang Shuo's class started unexpectedly, Jiang Qiuqi hurriedly took out his notebook and wrote down a few key words.

"Then do I still need to refer to the design of the MMO?"

"It's not a reference, it's about understanding the basic design patterns, such as the classification and level of the living system, etc. Only by mastering the basics can we design the deformation."

Jiang Qiuqi nodded: "Is there anything else I should pay attention to, Master?"

"You go and have a look first, the specific design, I'll discuss it with you after you have a certain concept, otherwise we can't talk about going together now."

"Good master!"

Returning to his seat, Jiang Qiuqi immediately began to study.

According to what Wang Shuo said, she first found a few popular MMO games, and then found some discussion posts from players.

The life system usually refers to the collection, cooking, and pharmaceutical collection in the game. Some games also have derivative systems such as fishing and breeding.

In these gameplays, collection is generally the beginning of the life system. Players can obtain the opportunity to make different props by collecting materials at designated locations.

Cooking and medicine generally have their own recipes, and different recipes require different materials.In order to obtain different effects, players must not only find the location of the corresponding materials, but also reach the level required to manufacture the corresponding formula.

The life system seems simple, but cooking and medicine are actually linked together. The design of each small system is related to each other, so that players can play easily.

In the end, Jiang Qiuqi downloaded the hottest "Chu Liuxiang" and decided to experience it for himself.

"Master, I feel that the life system is a bit complicated, and it may take two or three days to study it, is it okay?"

Jiang Qiuqi also counted the time when he went home at night. If he wanted to experience three games and then sort out the report, he really couldn't finish it today.

"Okay, you can study first. Two or three days of study time is not much." Wang Shuo agreed.

"However...Master, the invitation test is going to take place. During this period, you have to work overtime and refine the existing content, right? Don't you need my help?" Jiang Qiuqi worried that Wang Shuo would take too much responsibility alone.

"No, for the system, there is no way to quickly fill in the completeness, only to optimize the details. So my workload will not be too much. I just evaluated it, and I don't need to work overtime until the test."

Jiang Qiuqi breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the computer.

While chatting, "Chu Liuxiang" has been downloaded.

It's just the life system as an aid. Jiang Qiuqi had no choice but to be patient and upgrade step by step after entering the game. At lunch break, he finally saw the novice guide of the life system.

"Guide for beginners", Jiang Qiuqi dragged out a pen and paper, and wrote down the steps while operating.

"Xiao Qiuqiu~ What are you having for lunch? Do you want to go downstairs together? There is a new pizza shop with a discount. I heard that the durian pizza is delicious!"

Yin Qiang leaned close to her and looked down at her playing games.

""Chu Liuxiang"? Their story is well written, but the plot is too linear and not dense enough."

Hearing her evaluation, Jiang Qiuqi raised his head: "Then, how do you think their living system is doing?"

"Ah? I don't remember much. Isn't it just cooking and grinding medicine? It's all the old routine of the game, and I don't have any special impression."

Jiang Qiuqi nodded and returned to the game.

"No, I asked you if you want to eat pizza, don't look at it."

Only then did Yin Qiang remember the purpose of looking for Jiang Qiuqi, he held Jiang Qiuqi's face in his hands, and forced her to leave the game.

"Don't eat, don't eat, look at my stomach." Jiang Qiuqi was forced to look up, looked at Yin Qiang, pinched the flesh around his waist with both hands, and showed it to her.

"Okay, then I'll eat by myself." Yin Qiang withdrew his hands angrily, pretending to leave, but his eyes were reluctant, waiting for Jiang Qiuqi to persuade her to stay.

"Okay, enjoy eating!" Jiang Qiuqi didn't pay attention at all, turned around and picked up the phone, and started studying the system again.

After noon and afternoon, Jiang Qiuqi finally got a good understanding.

Her notes filled five pages, from the distribution rules of collection items to the connections between different systems.Then I thought about what Wang Shuo said, the life system serves the battle, and I focused on the requirements for blood medicine and blue medicine in different dungeons.

Jiang Qiuqi was so focused on completing the research and starting the design that he didn't notice that Wang Shuo had three meetings in the afternoon, and that Hao Zhuang secretly added tasks to the team behind her back.

At [-]:[-], Jiang Qiuqi stretched and found that Wang Shuo was still sitting upright beside him.

"Master, aren't you off work?"

"No, I have to work overtime." Wang Shuo was too busy to look at her, or even to sigh.

Seeing that he was so focused, Jiang Qiuqi didn't want to disturb him, so he simply worked overtime with him, sorting out the research results of the afternoon into quantifiable tables.

At 10:30, Jiang Qiuqi finished tidying up.

Wang Shuo, who was next to him, had already switched the battlefield and was discussing with Judian and the others.

Jiang Qiuqi went in without knowing it, and when he stood up, he saw that Yin Qiang was also working overtime.

She walked over, patted Yin Qiang on the shoulder lightly, and pointed to the tea room.

The other party understood and waited for her to go far before following her.

"What's wrong with you? Sudden overtime?" Jiang Qiuqi asked directly seeing no one around.

"It's not Boss Hao!" Yin Qiang got angry when he said it, and his voice was a little louder. Seeing Jiang Qiuqi made a shh gesture, he lowered the volume.

"It's not Hao Zhuang... He took us to a small meeting, saying that the later experience can remain the same for the time being, and the part of entering the game must be made more refined."

Just entered the game, what is it?tell a story?The main character wakes up?
"Anything to say?"

"I don't know either. Logically speaking, the player invitation test will design questionnaires according to different parts. As long as it is a part that can be experienced, it is the key point, or we want to get feedback from players."

Why did Hao Zhuang start to do unthinkable things again?Is it for whom?
Jiang Qiuqi touched his chin and thought for a long time before he said, "If only the front is changed, who would be more interested?"

　Baishou will update two or three chapters on the second day~ (It hurts so much)
